Members of the Woodbourne Rod and Gun Club in Pike County, Pa., will celebrate their centennial in September with a pig roast.
It was on Labor Day weekend in 1925 that Jacob Scheese and his brothers, of Woodbourne, Bucks County, purchased property in Milford to build a cabin, from which their descendants hunt and fish today.
